    Charging level changed last night, only 80%

    MBAir , M1. 2020, 8G, Sonoma 14.4.1 First, this is not a complaint; I'm glad that long term battery life will be improved. I typically charge my system overnight every 2 or 3 days, when the charge falls below 35% or so. I've always found it at 100% the following morning. This morning, my...

    iPhone 13 iPhone 13 charging problem, have you encountered it?

    I recently discovered that when I charge my iPhone 13, the charging status on the front is normal. When the power is charged to 97%, the power increase will become very slow.

    Using AlDente or other battery charge limiters

    Is using charge limiters like AlDente bad for your battery? The app page says that it might confuse battery calibration and cause turning off at e.x. 40%. Are there anybody who uses AlDente? How is your battery health on your macbook? Have you noticed any drawbacks?
